GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 749,251, dated January 12, 1,904.

Application filed November 28, 1902. Serial No. 133,107. (No model.)

gas-burners, and has for its object the produc-- tion of a device for burning gas in any ordi# nary heating apparatus, which may be so adjusted that combustion may be made to take place at any desiredV point in the {ire-box, and is provided with means by which air may be admitted in any required quantity, and is also provided with an obstruction to provide a perfect mixing of the air and gas before entering` the pipes where the combustion occurs; and it consists' in 'certain novel features of vconstruction and arrangement of parts, which will be readily understood by the description of the drawings and to the claims to be hereinafter given.

Of the drawings, Figure 1 represents a sectional plan of a portion of an ordinary kitchenstove with this invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 represents a cross-section of my improved burner, showing the burner-pipes at different angles. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section of a portion ofthe same, showing the attachment of the supply-pipe, the location of the mixing device, and the reservoir, with its cylinders surrounding it, to which the burnerpipes are attached. Fig. 4 represents an elevation of the reservoir.v Fig. 5 represents a longitudinal cross-section of a portion of the supply-pipe, showing the nipple, perforations, and sleeve; and Fig. '6 represents a cross-section of the mixing device.

Similar characters designate like parts throughout the several gures of the drawings.

1n the drawings, 1 represents the lining of4 rated end 5, as desired. The burner 3 consists of a cylindrical reservoir 8, connected at one end by a nipple 9 to the supply-pipe 4, p

the nipple 9 being provided with a mixer 10, consisting of a pair of crossed wires which causes the gas and air being admitted to the reservoir to be thoroughly mixed upon entering the same. The nipple 9 screws into a reduced coupling 11, which is screwed into one end of the reservoir 8, the reduced end of said coupling being provided with an asbestos packing and binding-nuts 12 and 13.

Surrounding the reservoir 8 are a plurality of sleeves or short cylinders 14, each provided with a hollow. boss into which is screwed a perforated pipe 15, extending radially from the said reservoir 8, the outer end of said perforatedpipe 15 being provided with another perforated pipe extending parallel to the axis of said reservoir, the opposite end of which may be connected by asimilar radial pipe 15 to the reservoir 8 or remain disconnected therefrom, as desired.

The reservoir 8 is provided with a series of slits 17, coacting with the inner ends of the pipes 15, so that communication between the interior of the reservoir and the pipe 15 may be had with said pipe or at various angles about theaxis of said reservoir.- The end of the reservoir 8 opposite to the gas-inlet is closed by a cap 18. Between the various sleeves or short cylinders 14 are collars 19, of asbestos or other non-combustible material, to form a packing to prevent leakage.

Thevperforated end 5 is provided with an inlet-nipple 20, secured to the liexible supplypipe 6, through which the gas is admitted to the burner 3 through the pipe 4. Y The narrow circumferential openings or slits 17 -in the reservoir 8 are alternately on opposite sides of said reservoir. The short cylinders or sleeves 14 rotate on the reservoir 8, but when in use are limited to the length- IOO perforated end 5, crossing a greater or less number of perforations, thus modlfying the amount of inlet, and thereby regulating theV amount of air admitted to the supply-tube, which it is essential should be adjusted by the user to the quality and pressure of the gas being used in order to obtain the best results.

IVhen this device is attached for service, as shown in Fig. 1, the perforated burner-pipes 15 16 are capable of being turned from a horizontal position to any angle where combustion and heat are desired.

In Fig. 2 three positions are seenga hori- Zontal, a vertical, and an angle of forty-five degrees. It is obvious that the burner-pipes may be moved into any position intermediate of these positions. By this ability to locate the burner-pipes at will around the central reservoir combustion may be uniform over the entire surface of the lire-pot or confined to any part of it, thus in the latter case enabling the user of a cooking-stove having a water-back to force the heating of the water therein to the exclusion of the other parts or, turning the burner-pipes toward the oven, more rapidly to heat it than otherwise it can be done. Upon the admission of the gas from the supply-pipe the quantity of air required to give the desired heat and ame from the burner-pipes can be regulated by the sleeve on the pipe 4:.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. In a gas-burner, the combination of a reservoir provided with a plurality of circumferential openings, a plurality of tubes radiating from said reservoir and each communieating with one of said openings, means whereby each of said radiating tubes may be moved into various positions about the axis of said reservoir, and a plurality of perforated tubes parallel with the axis of said reservoir and each communicating with one of said radiating tubes.

2. In a gas-burner, the combination with a cylindrical reservoir having a plurality of narrow circumferential openings, of a plurality of short cylinders provided with burnerpipes and adapted to be moved into various positions about said reservoir, and means for insuring communication between said reservoir and said pipes when in various positions.

3.
